The building is an architectural landmark that services commuters and day trippers embarking on the ferry journey across Port Phillip Bay.
The terminal is an entirely new building, and the total project was valued at $16m. The building has two floors, is nearly 100m long including the two wings at either end and is expected to service around 250,000 vehicles and 950,000 people annually. The terminal will provide weather protection for passengers boarding or disembarking the Searoad Ferries across all seasons.
An important architectural feature of the building is the organic and interrupted flow of the stainless-steel roof and façade installed by Signal & Hobbs.
Signal & Hobbs were responsible for the installation of the stainless-steel panels used for the roof, façade, canopy lining and parts of the interior. It is the use of stainless-steel for the curved roof and cladding that set the building apart.
Rodney Signal, Director & Business Development Manager of Signal & Hobbs said;
“This project is part of a long association supporting Kane as a specialist contractor. The whole team at Signal & Hobbs have followed the progress of this project very closely – it is an important landmark building that will provide greater amenity to the community. We successfully met the challenges of this project and thank the leadership at Kane for their ongoing confidence in Signal & Hobbs.”
